Accepting new clients! Living with chronic pain/illness is a full-time job, and that can take a serious toll on your mental health. Perhaps you're struggling with motivation, identity, or direction after a recent diagnosis or life transition, or you're feeling burnt out juggling all the responsibilities in your life with little time for self-care. Life can be so hard at times, and it can be easy to forget our resilience and capacity to overcome obstacles. Sometimes we just need a little extra support.

Now offering EMDR. Trauma can shake the way you interact with yourself, your loved ones and the world at large. I want to work with you to reconnect with yourself again. To feel safe enough to not just survive but to live. People living with trauma can carry a lot of shame and it can be difficult to talk about the things that you are facing. Therefore my goal as your therapist is to create a warm space for you to heal. In my work I embrace your natural gifts and incorporate creative forms of expression that come naturally to you into our therapeutic work.

You're branching out - maybe you've started school or moved away from home, and you begin to realize that not all families function like yours.... sound familiar? This 'aha' moment can bring about all sorts of confusion and hurt about the way that we were raised. At Everworth Counselling, I help young adults who grew up in chaotic homes, with emotionally immature parents, and/or with childhood trauma to better understand their upbringing, how it impacted them, and where to go from here.

Do you struggle with feeling like you do not belong or are you beginning to want to explore your childhood more? Many of those who I work with have ADHD or have an autism diagnosis and those who want to understand how their childhood may be affecting them now. I like to be lighthearted and use humor in my practice.. This with my background of working with young people in a post-secondary setting and my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies has profoundly shaped my perspective. Most of my clients are young people wanting to understand themselves better in one way or another.
